This will go down in years to come as a cult classic.
Characters in this film are nothing short of wonderful.
The acting is spot on, a lovely storyline of revenge and honesty.
A soft hearted Court reporter gets fed up with seeing bad guys go free and takes it upon himself to deal out a bit of self justice, then his friend gets wrongly accused of an evil crime so he goes after the real perpetrator.....
At first I thought it was a comedic affair, but it turns out to be a unique quirky thriller with a twist or two.
Well worth a watch , I cannot understand the poor reviews. I loved it from start to end.

'Walden; isn't too highly rated on here at the moment and I think it's mark should be higher than it is. It is an entertaining movie with a fine performance from Emile Hirsch in the lead role. He is awkward, a little odd and convinces as the character.
There are overtones of 'Dexter' which quite a few people will think as they watch this but 'Walden' stands out on it's own merits and is well worth watching. I thought that the story never dragged and it was interesting to me until the very end. David Keith is good as a sort of mentor to Walden and the rest of the cast are decent. Give this one a try.

A stenographic vigilante is not a common theme and opens up vast number of avenues for the plot to grow. But the movie's first half was too distracted with introducing the manic nature of the central character rather than focusing on the plot's progress. Introducing irrelevant characters such as romantic partners wasn't making much effect or useful. Final twist was great but police showing their findings for the sake of neighborly acquaintance was one out of many illogical things in this story. However the visuals were haunting and performances were sincere. Walden is a story that's very much interesting when summed up.
First I gotta say this snuck up on me, this film is a independent cult classic, the dark humor & sinister plot twist was paced well for me, this movie is not too over the top for your senses, the direct too the point main character is just right. The connoisseurs of independent cinema should enjoy, hell I did. I gotta add it's a damn shame this film didn't get the push like most films but you gotta be plugged into the mainstream for that, that being said this film stands on it's own merit. The pacing of this film was not full of cliches too bog a viewer down, the main character was all in, the supporting cast was not out of place for me at all.
I feel like the pacing and writing was massively meant for television. It was good film but but protracted at points and then wrapped up too quickly. It felt it had threads to unwrap but none of them did in a one hour and forty minute film. Acting was great and production very good but it did, at times, feel like a television series.
Main guy camps up the main role but presumably on purpose to make it feel less droll with the subject matter in hand which at times is as dark as it gets.
Enjoyed this but interested to know if it was meant instalments which might mean more films or a spin off series.
